I dou't care for the valuo of the sugar; but I will be mistress in my own hoitss, and do as I think proper with my own things." Then aying her hand on the bell, she gave it a violent pull; but at the same timtf the door bell culod, and in the jingle o! the two bolls to.zotb . .he servauts ' hardly knew what was warned. "It's the dooi," said the eook. "No, it's missus," said the housemaid, but the knocker ended their doubts. - "Run," said tho cook; "it's a visitor." And when the drawing room door opened it was to admit, not th a. offending cook and housemaid, toreccivo their dismissal, but Mrs Gordon, S pleasant looking widow lady n welcome guest wherever there was the smallest moiety of good sense or good feeling in the house she visited.' She was a clear headed, kind hearted Woman, who had not passed through life without learniug something of her own Imperfections; and self-knowledge had made her tender towards the infirmities of others. She was a great stickler for the due discharge of social and relativo dutio; not on pno Bide only, but on both. She had Hot one sort of justice for tho string uud another for the weak: and thus, wi h regard to servant and nus'ross, she st. od uj as resolutely fir the one s'de as the other- Many a young hoUwkeo Sr had she helped through the difficulties of her position. Whero her advice wag Wv.ll re-eeivod, she rejoiced; but where Self conceit caused it to be rejected, she quietely with drew. And, while sincerely desirous of being helpful to any or all that would al low her to help, she was most anxious to give the bcr.flt ot her experience nnd ma lured judgment to such of her younger friends as made a profession of religion. "It i sad to see," she would say sometime?, "how much discredit is cast upon the gospel by tho mere iuconsideriteness of those who profesg to be guided by it." "I have brought you a low lilies," she said, "for the pretty new stand Mr Thorn bought for you last week. Shall Jane bring a little water, and we will iut them in beforo they fade?" it was a great relief to Mrs Thorn, tioff that her temper had time to cool, itself, to see her kind friend come in: for she hud scarcely touched tho bell before she had a nervous misgiving that her intended interj view with'her servants would not end either to her satisfaction oradvantago.--Wherever Mrs Gordon went she was liked by the servants; they had a sort of instinct tive feeling that her visits were productive of good, and that everybody was more com foTtabla for them. Jane 'Curtesied, and went with alacrity fcr tho water, and very respectfully aduiir cd the liflies; nnd altogether looked so good tempered, that Mrs Thorn was disarmed tjf a little ofhet wrath. , , . , r .

"Yes, my dear," said her friend; -'and if you have tried your'best, in the Btrengtlf ot God to follow that rule, although you may not have done as well as you, or; I could wish you had, I dare gay you haven't done badly, and are in the way to go on to better, and better." ; , "You always eucoursgeuie' said jfr's.

"Oh, dear," said Mrs Thorn, folding her liandd and looking down. Mr Gordon ruiiicd. "Well, it roally sound's formidable; but it is true. There is the world, now. Mis tresses who seek ohly thoir own pleasure and ease will Indulge servants that answer thoir purpose in ways very injurious to them, iu order to retain their services; and a Christian mistress, who dares cot do this must submit to be called severe uukind1'' 'That's just it,' said Mrs'Thorn, looking up. "Now the Toapsons gave a ball lust week to their servants, and they were at lowed ta invite any that they pleased; the.) invited ours. I don't thiuk cook " eared much about it, bHt Jane wai dreadfully put out because I would not let them go; and she has been sullen ever since, on and1 'iff, and everything I have told her offended her." " "Never mini, "said Mrs. Gordon; "she'lj get over it in time.". . "Yes; but it's Very trying,'' said Mrs. Thorn. '' , "To your tempt?" said Mrs. 'Gordon".' "Yes, there's the. flesh. It would bo easy cnomrh for vou to stand firm in vour dutv ol- wutehfulness over them, if you knew that they wouk agree with you; but the trial is, after you hare done your best, to have them against you. Their temper being ruffled, ruffles yours; and your pride is up; ond altogether the flesh, or evil na ture, is very rampant isn't it so?" .Mrs. Thorn smiled mournfully. "And, then, my dear," coutinucd Iit friend, "we WUstn't forget that the old adveasary, who is ever on the watch to provoke converts young and old, so ffs to make them throw stumbling blocks in the way of ot'-c.s, takes advantage of your weakness, your want of faith, charity, and llilmili'Y, and tries to trip you up." "Well, I often wish I bad no servants," said Mrs. Thorn. "I'm sure this a al true; but it seems impossible to do right and I'm almost in despairi" . r "That's better than juiVe,'" said her friend, cheerfully; '-but hos anything particular happened? I thought Jane looked remarkably smiling when she let me in.' "Well, you micht 'all It a triflo," said Mrs. Thorn; "but it shocked ir.e, because Ifccl I didn't deserve it." Then she en tered into a long history of her kitcheB retrenchments, which had provoked, as she believed, the offensive expressions that were made use. of concerting her. 'Oh. dear! Well, that was Very bad," said Mrs. Gordon; "but how emtio you to let them use such words? ' I wotldcr the' were not afraid, for their character's sake, to speak' in that way before you. .

A Difficult Question Answered. Can any one tell why, when Eve was manufactured from one of Adam's ribs, a hired girl wasn't made nt the aanie time U wuit n her? e can. easy! Because AdaJii uevcr came whining to Eve with ragged stockings to.be dafrfed,. It oolfaN tring to he, sewed on, or a glove to be inended, "right away, quick, now!"

Not he. lie made the fire and hnng over the tea-ket'le himself, we'll venture, and pull ed tho radishes, peeled the baiiahas, and did every thing else that he'd ofteht lo. He milked the cows, fed the chicteds, aId" looked after tho pigs himself. Ho never brought home half a dozen friends to dinner when Eve hadu'tany fresh pomegran ates, and the mango season was over! He never stayed out at night until eleven o'clock to a "a ward meeting," hurrahing for an out and-out candidate, and then scolded because poor dear Eve was sitting up and crying inside tho gates. Jle nev er played bil'iards, nor drove fast horses. nor choked .ve with cigar smoke. lie nover loafed around corner groceries, while solitary Ke was rocking little Cain's cra dle at home. In short, he didn t think she was specially created for the purpose of wniting on him, and wasn't under the impression trat it disgraced a man to lighten his wife's pares a little. That's the reason Eve did not need a hired liirl. and we wish it was tho reasou that none of her fair descendants did. M tiles In ( fiilfal Aiturha. One of the most striking characteristics of the mule is his aversion to the ass, and the prices he takes in his relationship to the horse; which instincts are met by ob trusiveness in the ass, and by indifference in the hor-e. If an ass at any time urged by the vanity peculiar to its race as related fo the mule happens to fall in with a drove of mules, he will, in all probability, be kicked end lamed by his proud relatives., A horse, on the cotiffflf, takes distinguished position in a drove of mules. The latter crowd around him, and follow his movements, exhibiting a violent jealously, each trying to stand nearest his high-bred relativo. This instinct is employed to keep together the droves of mules, on a journey or at pasture, by puttimj a mitre to the dfote, with a hell found her neck, ncd called the bell-mare. This animal is led dav ahd nisiht by a cord, and the whole drove is thfts kept finder control, and will not leave their queen. It is therefoae very difficult to separate the drove. Tho man who'' leads the mare is instructed, in case of an attack from the Indians, to leap upon the back of the animal, nnd take refuge in the wagon cn-cimpment, whither the drove is r ore to follow him. Even if tho Indians suocccd in separating any from tho drove, they find it difficult to carry them off. The animals incessantly attempt to turn back, and the travelers are thus enabled to over, take tho robbers, and recover the stolen animals. The Indians, in consequence, use every means to get possession of the mare; and if they succeed in this, the whole drove is lost to their owners. If several horses are in a drove of mutes, the danger is that the latter becomes dispersed; and this is the reason that, in these journeys, saddle horses are not allowed to go lo.ose, but are led by a Cord.

I See a Light I'm Almost Home The following is related of a younkxirl. whose journey of life was near its end. About her chamber glided gently the loved forms of ber parents, and ber only listeh : She silently noted their movement with a mild expression of her dying eve. uruing it from side to vide.

A playful smile litup herconn-tenance. Sho laid her little pulseless band within her mother'a palm, then closed her eyelids to the light of earth, and sank away The cold, damp air of death's shadowy va'l Icy seemed circling over her. Slowly sinking down, she glided towards the river's shore, whioli, like a narrow stream, divides the spirit land from ours. But ace I the quivering lips cwoy to speak!

However, I'll know the meaning of ' this) I haven't been satisfied with Jano, though, I've tried to kcop it in; she looked' quite Sttlky when I showed her the spots on tho (ire irons and the dust on the dooi ledge. And as to cook, I knew wnat she means by meanness," She expects me to allow more sugar for the kitchen; but I shan't do it; I won!tbe imposed upon. I dou't care for the valuo of the sugar; but I will be mistress in my own hoitss, and do as I think proper with my own things." Then aying her hand on the bell, she gave it a violent pull; but at the same timtf the door bell culod, and in the jingle o! the two bolls to.zotb . .he servauts ' hardly knew what was warned. "It's the dooi," said the eook. "No, it's missus," said the housemaid, but the knocker ended their doubts. - "Run," said tho cook; "it's a visitor." And when the drawing room door opened it was to admit, not th a. offending cook and housemaid, toreccivo their dismissal, but Mrs Gordon, S pleasant looking widow lady n welcome guest wherever there was the smallest moiety of good sense or good feeling in the house she visited.' She was a clear headed, kind hearted Woman, who had not passed through life without learniug something of her own Imperfections; and self-knowledge had made her tender towards the infirmities of others. She was a great stickler for the due discharge of social and relativo dutio; not on pno Bide only, but on both. She had Hot one sort of justice for tho string uud another for the weak: and thus, wi h regard to servant and nus'ross, she st. od uj as resolutely fir the one s'de as the other- Many a young hoUwkeo Sr had she helped through the difficulties of her position. Whero her advice wag Wv.ll re-eeivod, she rejoiced; but where Self conceit caused it to be rejected, she quietely with drew. And, while sincerely desirous of being helpful to any or all that would al low her to help, she was most anxious to give the bcr.flt ot her experience nnd ma lured judgment to such of her younger friends as made a profession of religion. "It i sad to see," she would say sometime?, "how much discredit is cast upon the gospel by tho mere iuconsideriteness of those who profesg to be guided by it." "I have brought you a low lilies," she said, "for the pretty new stand Mr Thorn bought for you last week. Shall Jane bring a little water, and we will iut them in beforo they fade?" it was a great relief to Mrs Thorn, tioff that her temper had time to cool, itself, to see her kind friend come in: for she hud scarcely touched tho bell before she had a nervous misgiving that her intended interj view with'her servants would not end either to her satisfaction oradvantago.--Wherever Mrs Gordon went she was liked by the servants; they had a sort of instinct tive feeling that her visits were productive of good, and that everybody was more com foTtabla for them. Jane 'Curtesied, and went with alacrity fcr tho water, and very respectfully aduiir cd the liflies; nnd altogether looked so good tempered, that Mrs Thorn was disarmed tjf a little ofhet wrath. , , . , r .

Those fcore the tliee thiugs, you kuow,'? she said, smiling, "that had chiefly to do with servants in the chapter." . "Yes, my dear," said her friend; -'and if you have tried your'best, in the Btrengtlf ot God to follow that rule, although you may not have done as well as you, or; I could wish you had, I dare gay you haven't done badly, and are in the way to go on to better, and better." ; , "You always eucoursgeuie' said jfr's.

"Oh, dear," said Mrs Thorn, folding her liandd and looking down. Mr Gordon ruiiicd. "Well, it roally sound's formidable; but it is true. There is the world, now. Mis tresses who seek ohly thoir own pleasure and ease will Indulge servants that answer thoir purpose in ways very injurious to them, iu order to retain their services; and a Christian mistress, who dares cot do this must submit to be called severe uukind1'' 'That's just it,' said Mrs'Thorn, looking up. "Now the Toapsons gave a ball lust week to their servants, and they were at lowed ta invite any that they pleased; the.) invited ours. I don't thiuk cook " eared much about it, bHt Jane wai dreadfully put out because I would not let them go; and she has been sullen ever since, on and1 'iff, and everything I have told her offended her." " "Never mini, "said Mrs. Gordon; "she'lj get over it in time.". . "Yes; but it's Very trying,'' said Mrs. Thorn. '' , "To your tempt?" said Mrs. 'Gordon".' "Yes, there's the. flesh. It would bo easy cnomrh for vou to stand firm in vour dutv ol- wutehfulness over them, if you knew that they wouk agree with you; but the trial is, after you hare done your best, to have them against you. Their temper being ruffled, ruffles yours; and your pride is up; ond altogether the flesh, or evil na ture, is very rampant isn't it so?" .Mrs. Thorn smiled mournfully. "And, then, my dear," coutinucd Iit friend, "we WUstn't forget that the old adveasary, who is ever on the watch to provoke converts young and old, so ffs to make them throw stumbling blocks in the way of ot'-c.s, takes advantage of your weakness, your want of faith, charity, and llilmili'Y, and tries to trip you up." "Well, I often wish I bad no servants," said Mrs. Thorn. "I'm sure this a al true; but it seems impossible to do right and I'm almost in despairi" . r "That's better than juiVe,'" said her friend, cheerfully; '-but hos anything particular happened? I thought Jane looked remarkably smiling when she let me in.' "Well, you micht 'all It a triflo," said Mrs. Thorn; "but it shocked ir.e, because Ifccl I didn't deserve it." Then she en tered into a long history of her kitcheB retrenchments, which had provoked, as she believed, the offensive expressions that were made use. of concerting her. 'Oh. dear! Well, that was Very bad," said Mrs. Gordon; "but how emtio you to let them use such words? ' I wotldcr the' were not afraid, for their character's sake, to speak' in that way before you. .

Because AdaJii uevcr came whining to Eve with ragged stockings to.be dafrfed,. It oolfaN tring to he, sewed on, or a glove to be inended, "right away, quick, now!" Be cause, he nevr read tho newspaper until the sun .trot down behind the paW-trees ind then. stretching himself, yawned out. "Aint supper most ready, my dear?'' Not he. lie made the fire and hnng over the tea-ket'le himself, we'll venture, and pull ed tho radishes, peeled the baiiahas, and did every thing else that he'd ofteht lo. He milked the cows, fed the chicteds, aId" looked after tho pigs himself. Ho never brought home half a dozen friends to dinner when Eve hadu'tany fresh pomegran ates, and the mango season was over! He never stayed out at night until eleven o'clock to a "a ward meeting," hurrahing for an out and-out candidate, and then scolded because poor dear Eve was sitting up and crying inside tho gates.

One of the most striking characteristics of the mule is his aversion to the ass, and the prices he takes in his relationship to the horse; which instincts are met by ob trusiveness in the ass, and by indifference in the hor-e. If an ass at any time urged by the vanity peculiar to its race as related fo the mule happens to fall in with a drove of mules, he will, in all probability, be kicked end lamed by his proud relatives., A horse, on the cotiffflf, takes distinguished position in a drove of mules. The latter crowd around him, and follow his movements, exhibiting a violent jealously, each trying to stand nearest his high-bred relativo. This instinct is employed to keep together the droves of mules, on a journey or at pasture, by puttimj a mitre to the dfote, with a hell found her neck, ncd called the bell-mare. This animal is led dav ahd nisiht by a cord, and the whole drove is thfts kept finder control, and will not leave their queen. It is therefoae very difficult to separate the drove. Tho man who'' leads the mare is instructed, in case of an attack from the Indians, to leap upon the back of the animal, nnd take refuge in the wagon cn-cimpment, whither the drove is r ore to follow him. Even if tho Indians suocccd in separating any from tho drove, they find it difficult to carry them off. The animals incessantly attempt to turn back, and the travelers are thus enabled to over, take tho robbers, and recover the stolen animals. The Indians, in consequence, use every means to get possession of the mare; and if they succeed in this, the whole drove is lost to their owners. If several horses are in a drove of mutes, the danger is that the latter becomes dispersed; and this is the reason that, in these journeys, saddle horses are not allowed to go lo.ose, but are led by a Cord.
